World Heritage Sites in Queensland

In Queensland, we’re all about natural beauty. UNESCO has recognised this by listing five of our wonders as World Heritage areas. These areas are recognised worldwide for their importance as natural and cultural symbols and we’re super proud to show them off.

While you’re here, tick off one or all of our World Heritage Listed areas:

The Great Barrier Reef was the first Queensland site to be recognised for its representation of major stages of the earth’s evolutionary history and as the largest coral reef system on the planet.

Extending from Cooktown to Townsville and including the Daintree Rainforest, the Wet Tropics of Queensland protects Australia’s largest remaining area of wet tropical rainforest with cultural significance for the Aboriginal people who have called this area home for thousands of years.

Aim to reach all five World Heritage Listed areas and you’ll have an adventure plan that covers off most of our beautiful state!
